Yes, Both Mark and Barry have been accused of steroid use during this timeframe but they still had to be naturally great athletes because talent doesn’t come in a bottle, pill or injection. How many balls cleared the wall because of the extra strength given by steroid use is unknown. Your turn Salty.

Who had the highest career average for on base percentage? This is how often a player gets on base and is now considered to be one of the most important stats in baseball. This player is head and shoulders above today’s players.

Yes indeed it was Ted Williams! He had a LIFETIME on base average of .482, which is higher than ANY single season achievement of ANY active MLB player! He is. Way better! Only Babe Ruth is close. Ted Williams was good as it got. At age 38 hi batting average was .388!!!!!!

Your turn Roland.

Get rolling Roland! Smile Don't pay me any attention. Your fine it's that I couldn't resist saying that. The devil made me do it so if you don't mind we'll blame him for that. OK?

The TV shows of both Flip Wilson and Rowan & Martin were of the comedy-variety genre. Who was the first big star of that genre on television?
